New Arrivals from Speakers Corner, Sam Records, Blue Note, MFSL, Analog Productions, Bill Evans

[@bubbabritton1726]

As I often say about going to see the Stones despite their age, “if you were told you could only see Willie Mays play during his time with the Mets, you’d still go because the flashes of greatness would still shine through on occasion.” Same for the Stones! #RIPCharlieWatts

[@jt-hn6ur]

Yea Mike saw the Stones in Miami right after the show you saw, and they were excellent. Every band no matter age has off nights on tour. I have seen the Stones 20 times going back to 1989 and I put that show right up there with the best. After the show everyone was just looking at each other like wow that was incredible. Still can not believe it was Charlie Watts last show. I think all of us in the Stones family are shocked.

[@jackde1965]

I love your videos Mike. I love your recommendations. The "new arrivals" videos are my favorite. I've ordered from you a couple times. You help make vinyl collecting fun again. In case you care... Chvrches is simply pronounced as Churches. They just played with the spelling. I look forward to all of your videos. Thank you.

Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows) is a great movie with an obviously great soundtrack. Well worth a watch.

[@romeroj2011]

Hey mike been watching your channel last 6 months and man you are very educational and informative on what to look for in vinyls and what things should sound like. What’s your take on the new Beatles 4 LP box set coming out in October I believe?

[@bvanpelt8]

HooDoo Man Blues is insanely good. Buddy Guy and Junior Wells play perfectly off of each other. My copy had 2 perfect looking records with no surface noise.

[@johngaldieri5535]

Mike, I just ordered that Sarah Vaughan album from you! I have about 110 Sarah Vaughan albums in my Vinyl Collection so I had to get that 1969 Live one!! Thank you so much! Northern New Jersey loves you :)

[@sclogse1]

When Ascension, the Miles soundtrack was first issued, most of us know it had a nice reverb that fit the music perfectly. THen when the CD's came out, the reverb was gone. Big mistake. Does this LP have the reverb back in?

[@triplelindys]

I got to see the Stones once on the Steel Wheels tour and it was easily a top 5 show I've ever been to. And I've been to a lotttttttttt... :)

[@jimmybrooks7290]

Saw them on that same tour in St. Louis…an absolutely incredible 2 1/2 hours!

[@markwilding3828]

Hey Mike you mentioned somewhere that you are still expecting to be supplied with Blue Note Classic Series "Moanin" (and I guess the same applies to "Something Else"). I have been waiting for a both these, pre-ordered with another reseller. I was starting to think they were going to be a no-show and I missed my chance to get these records. Do you think there is still reason to hold out hope?... Another question... You see these cheap re-issues on labels like Wax Time and Groove Replica. Do you know anything about these labels?

[@johnbarrington2526]

Tattoo you is my favorite stones album. Can’t wait for that release

[@ralex3697]

Certainly not mine but it is a great album

[@progrocktommy]

Awesome video, lots of great records! Take Care..

[@Groover71]

I first saw the Stones in ‘94 on the Voodoo Lounge Tour, and I’ve seen them about 6 more times since. Always a great time. The ‘82 Tattoo You tour rivals anything live musically one can come up with, for me. I think they are the greatest rock and roll band ever. I saw Prince a couple of times, fantastic shows, I think he’s one of the greatest musicians ever. And I’ve seen Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band several times in person, along with countless times via concert film. In my opinion, Bruce and E Street are the greatest live show that’s ever been. But you gotta like Bruce’s music to even start that conversation. The Who ‘89 show I saw was a blast. Anyway, just my subjective opinions. Appreciate the discussion, great vid. RIP, Charlie. 🙏🏽

[@djjoeykmusic]

Awesome Video! Great job!

[@zackamania6534]

I saw the VoodoLounge tour and Bridges To Babylon in Nashville when I was 16 and 19. I would have gone to more but the ticket prices got crazy and the set lists were always basically the same. Love them though. Great drummer

[@Donjasoni]

I’ve often said the same thing about the Stones. I’ve seen countless bands. NONE of them touch the Stones live. I think I’ve seen them 6 or 7 times and literally all of those shows are my top 6 or 7 shows I’ve seen ever.

[@markwilding3828]

You mentioned Speakers Corner only cut from analogue components. Ironically, you said it straight after showing the Alan Parsons record, which they say on their website is the ONLY item in their entire catalogue that is mastered from a digital source.

[@Carrera6rennsport]

The two Chet Baker Jpn imports are no-brainers, get 'em while the gettin's good.

[@johndairy6306]

love supreme live in seattle! john coltrane

[@bmwolverton]

Just paid $300 for that Japanese Chet Baker Memories NM. It’s the arguably him at his very best, at the very end. It has almost blue on it which is an Elvis Costello track that is essentially the best thing he ever recorded. Im also sick to my stomach that my “grail” just got repressed and can be gotten for $52. At a complete loss for words really. Welcome to collecting records I guess.

[@Markymarkvinylnut]

Thanks Mike..another great video

[@justindjtapefire9220]

Good to see you carrying a Sahel Sounds release. You should check out Wau Wau Collectif on that label.

[@ClausHensingDenmark]

Mike - It seems that the current release of Sam Record's "L'assenseur..." (which you present here) is pressed at Optimal where the earlier versions were pressed at Pallas. Could you say/write something about the difference - Pallas is - I guess - the better pressing plant (?).

[@Groover71]

Accdg to The In Groove site, this is the Pallas version. Not true?

[@DC-xx4kv]

Best concert, Van Halen first tour in a civic auditorium, The Wall and Queen 1978. So there.

[@lucalone]

that sticker on the new lorde album is on the wrong place on the cover^^

[@davidjurney]

Those Sam Records Chet Baker albums are fantastic.

[@hovz-zo8lf]

The only cassingle I ever bought was 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins. I've tried to get it for a reasonable price the last few years, but alot of people are charging vinyl prices for a cassingle. So stupid.

[@DawnVita]

love 'don't text me about it - i don't care'...hahaha

[@silverfox1519]

What’s that copy of Pink Floyd The Wall on the far left of the new arrivals stand? Anything special about it, like a first pressing?

[@mikefinney423]

That title, as with most PF titles, is still currently in print.

[@silverfox1519]

@@mikefinney423 indeed. But the in print 2016 PFs (with the exception The Division Bell) are digitally sourced remasters. So was curious if that was a vintage analog version?

[@Groover71]

@@silverfox1519 digitally sourced remasters from the original analogs by Bernie Grundman. I’ll take it over spending crazy amounts for OP analogs. DSOTM sounds fantastic.

[@brentpietrok4758]

@David Pietras Nice! Looking forward to hearing it.

[@Sentimental_Mood]

That is indeed a “killer” collection you’ve got in stock this week.

[@EddieJazzFan]

I love these new arrival videos, however they should be really named "New arrivals that if you haven't already pre-ordered you have no chance of getting" LOL

[@brettthompson2743]

Is the John Lee Hooker on the website?

[@brentpietrok4758]

Yes but sold out

[@adambutters1218]

They’ll probably bundle that with Storm Front and River of Dreams…uggggh

I can’t believe this Billy Joel boxset has no An Innocent Man.

Stones? Prince? Best live ever??Apparently you never saw Springsteen. It’s not even debatable. Best live performer ever. By a mile.

[@TheInGroove]

I’ve seen him twice. Not a Bruce fan.

[@Groover71]

@@TheInGroove I figured as much. Never heard you utter his name once the whole time I’ve been following you on here 😂. It’s all good, we like what we like.

[@Groover71]

Love Stones and Prince, but I’m with you. I only started seeing him in ‘99 during the Reunion tour, and several times since, all great, but I missed the REAL good stuff from Darkness/River/BITUSA tours, blame it on being too young to go. Thankfully there’s so much footage and pristine audio available from those tours, and yeah, nobody comes close. Would take his peak against anyone at theirs in a live performance.

[@vintagecrtgaming855]

Nobody cares. We are all patiently waiting for the famous guys record collection to be posted

[@Groover71]

So weird when ppl say “nobody cares”. I’m always like “oh so you know everyone?”

[@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084]

Sorry to disagree but The Rolling Stones are gone now. In fact, they have been now for a long time. It’s a big, corporate circus with old men sucking a few more dollars out of the marketplace. Save your money. Watch a video of the Some Girls tour and enjoy. What was is now over. But...there was a time. There was a time when those five men made the world shake in fear, and lust and satisfaction. Indeed, they did.

[@Groover71]

The Some Girls Tour was actually not great. I have the Handsome Girls box and that’s probably as good as it gets when it comes to a chronicle of that tour, but THAT tour was definitely a money grab. The Stones in ‘78 were booze and drugged up and barely standing every night of that tour. And the music revealed that. The Tattoo You Tour completely destroys it. They invented the modern day stadium tour with that one. As for now? They’re wealthy. Do they HAVE to tour? Probably not. Would Charlie want them to keep going? Of course he would. So I say go for it. Who are we to tell them no? If you don’t like it, don’t buy a ticket. Easy enough.

[@Groover71]

@@tuneyouup speaking of clowns, all of your comments, or emoji rather, that you post under Mike’s videos kinda reveal who the real clown truly is. Just saying. Please enlighten us in what album releases aren’t deserving of a “ 🥱” or “ 😴” emoji?

[@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084]

@@Groover71 again, sorry to disagree but the Stones after Some Girls are no longer an actual band. They became a shell. An enhanced corporate money machine without soul or blood. I’ll take the beautifully ragged vocals of Jagger And the drugstore riffs of Woody and Richards. In 78 they were a band. Musically fueled by the danger punk and the decadence Studio 54. Those performances are the most brilliant and interesting rock concerts I’ve ever seen and heard. Glory. Some Girls was the last truly great spark from the world’s greatest rock n roll band. In comparison, Tattoo You was a stadium bore that was a ghost of their past. And moving forward would only make makers worse. Sorry. Jagger and Richards became cartoon character of themselves. Completely devoid of the chemistry between them that made the entire globe bend to their will and power. Bless them for all they have given.

[@scrapbookvinylplus2320]

Agree 100 percent. Steel wheels was a great tour. But after that nothing to see here.

[@ralex3697]

They should give it up, I agree They were magical, just not anymore
